If MW wattage higher than 800 should full power be used and adjust for time or use a lower power to approach the 800? tia

My micro is 750 and the Lekoe pasta cooker works great. Iadd extra time for thicker pasta

No; you should use as the control the one with the largest CHANGE in power draw, stand-by/off to on. The other consideration is the order in which you want devices to power on. if that is important, then the device that requires power first should be the master if possible.

Yes, not sure what you are asking either, but the reply from uberzilla should help! It is also my understanding that you don't need to worry about going too high on the watts, although there's no point in wasting your money for more watts than you need to power your system/graphics card.

I think the name plate watts are 800. Check the name plate one more time. think they are well within your usage

it's a four bulb set-up, so I am using 45watt, I suppose 85 watt wouldn't be too hot although I haven't tried, I believe 105's would be too big (the four bulbs are tight set inside)

I would not load it to the max due to overheating which is what takes out the tranformers so I would use 13 no more than 14. Max watt 60-70.

hey, if your smps's power is less than 500W, pls change your smps wch has >500W power, or else ur GC would short and waste of money/// and most SMPS with >500W power comes with 2 inbuilt Power cords for Graphic cards/PCI

Usually more is better. Higher wattage won't hurt. As mentioned earlier, to calculate your wattage needs multiply the amps by voltage. If your transformer will provide more than is required you will be in good shape.

That is what the literature says. You should buy a smaller wattage version closer to your intended usage.

Major energy user in modern comps is a video card...Without video card, 300W more then enough.If you will use powerful modern video card you have to change PSU if not 300W would be OK

You should be able to lower the power of your microwave, no? My microwave is a 1200W as well and I just use it on max. No problems.

You should be ok running the polisher with this. This is a pure sine wave converter so it will be better for the tool anyway (versus those el cheapo converter).That said, I would NOT try to run it long with the 400W. It'd be better with 800W unit. Both this unit and the polisher has the overload protection so if forsome reason the load is exceeded either (or both) will shut off. Keep an eye on the Wagan to make sure it's not getting too hot. I'd run it for 30mins or so then wait rather than running for like 2 hours with 4.5A load.

I believe the best recommended practice is to use 1000watt bulbs, regardless of power settings. I have not tried with lower wattage bulbs.

I agree with Paul depending on how much reserve battery power you have will dictate how long you can pull 800W. For better service I advise to use bigger wire to connect to battery and shortes length possible, 4 awg or 2 awg if need to be longer wire with ring termals. Unless you have a big battery bank reserve best to keep plenty of 12V power to batteries. There is a formula to calculate the load online

In practice these things are pretty robust. As long as you do the adjustment while there's no output load (just your meter connected) and don't exceed the maximum rated input voltage, you're unlikely to fry it.EDIT: It sounds like one blew up on you, sorry to hear that. This is surprising to me, since the LM2587 has undervoltage lockout. I bench tested this for my application (dropping the input voltage until the thing turned off) successfully several times under 10W load.

Your heater is a pure resistive load plus maybe a small motor and the switch says it will handle a 1 hp motor which is a much more demanding load. As some of the other answers noted, a heater should be fine. 800 watts is well within the range of load they specify. A 1500 watt heater will probably work fine too. Higher than that is asking for trouble (which will be refusal to shut heater off or failure to turn it on after a bunch of uses).If it doesnt work, buy a husky and hug it when you get out of the shower.

60Watts is the minimum that you should use if that's what your computer says. Using a 90W power supply is actually preferable as it will last longer and run cooler.
